Take note if she cancels plans with other guys to hang out with you, keep that in mind. If you notice she's not as quick to talk about her latest beau either, chances are she views you as more than a friend and wants to be in a relationship. If you notice she's not as quick

Wear a hat. Keep your hands warm. Cover up the obvious holes in your wardrobe. Get the right shoes.

If she’s canceling plans with other guys to hang out with you, keep that in mind. If you notice she's not as quick to talk about her latest beau either, chances are she views you as more than a friend and wants to be in a relationship.  This is particularly true if she has talked about other guy crushes in the past, but suddenly changes the subject if you mention them. When she stops viewing you as one of the girls and refuses to share anything about her love life, you can rest assured that the feelings are mutual. In the past, you used to be able to get her take on your love life. Now she seems to blow up at the mere mention of another woman. If this happens, it’s probably safe to assume that she wants to be your only leading lady. She may tease you about past relationships, but if you mention someone you currently like, it may not go over well. Past relationships may be her way of teasing you, but mentioning a recent crush will ensure she won’t be smiling for long. In the past, you were more likely to hang out in a group setting. Now that she keeps asking to spend time alone with you, this may be a clue she’s into you. If you're being consistently invited to places that her past boyfriends accompanied her to, such as weddings or dances, you should probably have a discussion about whether you’re more than friends. If she's a good friend, she will appreciate your honesty. Though it may be awkward at first, you'll ultimately feel relieved once you've been honest.  Tell her how you feel. While it could be awkward and you may feel extremely nervous about revealing your feelings to her, you'll be glad you did it. It's much better to say something than to not say anything at all.  You may notice a look of relief on her face when you share your feelings with her. If she lights up when you tell her about your feelings, it is probable that she feels the same way. Begin the conversation by telling her how much you respect your friendship with her and that you've recently been having feelings that are beyond that of a...

TL;DR in English: Take note if she cancels plans with other guys. Watch for signs of anger if you talk about other girls. Look for a suggestion to hang out alone. Observe her reaction when you admit you like her.

Pull the  husks off of the corn as well as any threads or strings. Rinse the corn off in cool water, then cut off any bad spots. If you'd like, you can cut the cobs in half to make smaller portions. You will need 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) of water. You can cook quite a large amount of corn using this method, especially if you stand the corn upright. The water should not touch the bottom of the steamer basket. If it does, pour some water out, but try to keep it as close to 2 inches (5.08 centimeters) as possible. Keep in mind that you may have to refill the water as the corn steams. If you are inserting the corn vertically, make sure that the stems are pointing downwards. If the corn is too big for the pot, cut the corn in half. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, and cook the corn for 7 to 10 minutes. If you like your corn more crisp, check it after about 4 minutes. The corn is ready when the kernels turn bright yellow. Keep an eye on the water; don't let it fall below 1 inch (2.54 centimeters). You will be more likely to scorch your pot this way. Be careful when taking the lid off the pot.; the steam will be very hot. At this point, you can garnish the corn with some salt, pepper, and butter.

TL;DR in English: Prepare the corn. Choose a pot that is large enough to fit the corn, then fill the bottom with water. Place a steamer basket in the bottom of the pan. Add the corn and cover the pot with a lid. Bring the water to a boil, then simmer it for 7 to 10 minutes. Use a pair of tongs to take the corn out of the pot, and transfer it to a serving plate. Serve the corn.

You lose a good deal of heat out of your head. Plus, it is also a sensitive part of the body, so you will really feel it when the temperature dips. Make sure you have something to keep your head warm and protect from the wind. One good piece of headgear for style is a beanie. It covers your ears and the top of your head, while also keeping your face open for people to see. It’s hard to feel stylish when no one can see your face. You don’t want to keep your hands stuffed into your pockets at the only way to keep warm. Instead, keep them out by covering them with gloves or mittens. Either one can work, but are better for different situations. Mittens will keep your hands warmer because they hold your fingers together in a single pouch. On the other hand, gloves give you more freedom to move and use your fingers.  Whichever you chose, you can always give your hands an extra boost with small hand warmers. Like other outer layers, waterproof mittens or gloves are best, especially if you will be dealing with rain or snow. Dry hands are easier to keep warm. Don’t just think about large areas of exposed skin like your arms, legs, or neck. Consider the parts of your body where your regular layers end, like your neck and wrists. Look for clothing that is a bit longer to cover up more exposed areas. Wearing a scarf is a great and stylish way to keep your neck warm. A colorful or interesting pattern can help you stand out, and it doesn’t need to match the rest of your wardrobe in the same way. Don’t forget that there are  a variety of ways to tie your scarf to vary your look, even with the same scarf. Your footwear should have some kind of tread. Winter is the season for ice, snow, and slush, and there is nothing stylish about slipping as you walk along. Boots are also thicker, and will help trap heat around your feet and ankles.  For women, consider higher boots that come further up your legs. The extra coverage will give you the freedom to consider a shorter skirt, and provide a slightly different look than rain or...

TL;DR in English:


Spray with hairspray. Combine dish-washing soap, white vinegar, and water. Apply mixture with a cloth. Rub the polyester fabric together with your fingers. Rinse the garment.

If you’re new to smoking bongs, take a seat near a table or stand so you can set the bong down if you start coughing. Sit near an open window if you don’t want the room to fill with smoke. Make sure the area you're sitting in is free of any flammable objects. Wrap your hand around the smoke chamber (the long section that connects the mouthpiece and the water chamber) or hold the bong from the bottom. Make sure you have a good grip before you light it. Breathe using your diaphragm (the muscle below your lungs). Filling your body with oxygen will make it easier to inhale all the smoke from the bong, and you won't cough as much. Your lips should be inside the mouthpiece and the rim of the mouthpiece should be pressed against the area around your mouth. Make sure there aren’t any gaps so the smoke doesn’t escape. Use a regular pocket lighter. Hold the lighter so it’s vertical and light it with your thumb. Keep your other fingers wrapped around the lighter so they don’t get burned. Position the flame so you're only burning the edge of the cannabis in the bowl. This will help the cannabis in the bowl last longer. Hold the flame on the edge of the cannabis.

TL;DR in English: Get into a comfortable position with the bong. Hold the bong with your non-dominant hand. Take a few deep breaths. Put your mouth on the mouthpiece. Light the lighter with your free hand. Tilt the lighter on its side and bring the flame to the bowl.

When picking out pieces, make sure you have solid pieces that you can wear in a variety of scenarios. You want a wardrobe that will take you from work to out to dinner without having too many pieces that are only for one type of occasion.  For instance, a nice pair of pants that fits will can be made professional with a nice jacket and a blouse. For slightly dressier dinner, take off the jacket and add a scarf. As another example, a knee length skirt in a solid color is appropriate for work with a solid color on top, but it could also work for brunch with friends if you add few accessories. for your workhorse pieces. When it comes to fashion, the basic neutral colors are black, navy blue, browns, grays, and tans. Because neutrals don't tend to go well together in the same outfit, picking and sticking to one or two will help you create more outfits with less pieces.  Buy versatile items like skirts, pants, belts, and coats in your chosen neutral(s). White is also technically a neutral color, but it can be paired with other neutrals. Unless you're buying complete outfits at the same time, never buy a piece unless you know what you'll wear it with. Before buying an item, mentally create one or more outfits using it and pieces you already own.  Even though you love an item, it just may never fit into your wardrobe if it's not your usual style, which means you won't wear it. Skipping this step can lead to a lot of unworn pieces that just sit in your closet. The first step of building a wardrobe isn't buying anything; it's streamlining what you already have. Go through your closet and look for pieces you never wear. Eliminating these will make choosing good clothes much easier.  You can sell your old clothes online, if you're short on cash. Another option is to give them to charity. You'll even get a credit on your taxes for the donation, if you get a receipt. Some charities will pick up donations, so you don't have to go anywhere. Consider posting them on social media. Many times, your friends will want to claim...

TL;DR in English: Cover the basics. Pick one or two neutral colors Shop with your current wardrobe in mind. Get rid of anything you don't wear.

Using aerosol hairspray, apply a liberal amount on the ink to loosen the stain. This will bring the stain to the surface, which will make it easier to treat. Keep in mind when using hairspray that it can damage some fabrics and surfaces. This is why it's important to always check the care label before treating fabrics. Using a small bowl, mix together 1/2 teaspoon liquid dish-washing detergent, one tablespoon white vinegar, and one quart warm water to form a solution. Swirl together until the mixture is consistent throughout. Take a clean, white cloth and soak it in the mixture, and then generously apply to the stained area. Allow the stain to soak in the solution for about 30 minutes. Pressing the stained fabric together, rub the polyester until you see the stain begin to disappear. This will help the solution to lift the ink stain from your fabric and should remove any stain that remains. Rinse your clothing under cold running water. Do this until all vinegar and soap is rinsed out of the garment. Squeeze the garment occasionally to make sure it rinses completely. Leaving soap and vinegar in the garment can cause damage to the clothing.

Instead of depositing cash in a bank, purchase a reloadable prepaid debit card.  This card works the same way a regular debit or credit card does, and allows you to make purchases up to the amount deposited on the card.  The process by which you deposit cash onto the card depends on the terms of the card.  Some cards allow customers to deposit cash at the checkout register of certain big box stores.  Cards that were obtained at banks usually require you to add more money to the card at the issuing bank. Before purchasing a reloadable prepaid debit card, ask the issuer how to deposit cash onto the card.  If you find the process too difficult, consider another option for depositing cash. Reloadable prepaid debit cards are available online, at big box stores, and at many banks. Automated teller machines (ATMs) are machines that distribute and, in some cases, receive cash so that you can access your bank account even when the bank is closed.  Banks that are not linked to ATMs that allow deposits will not be able to accept cash deposits.  Find a bank with access to a large ATM network.  To find an online bank with a large ATM network, contact several banks and ask the bank representative, “Do you offer access to a large ATM network?”  If the answer is “No,” look for another way to deposit your cash. Most online banks do not accept cash deposits via ATM. Cash deposited through an ATM might be put on hold for several days. While many banks – both traditional and online – allow you to deposit checks by mail, you should never send cash by mail.  Most banks disallow this, but even if you encounter a bank that does, do not deposit money in this manner.  The risk of your money getting lost is too great.  Convert your money to a money order instead.

TL;DR in English: Put cash on a reloadable prepaid debit card. Deposit cash through an ATM. Do not send cash through the mail.

You can enter the commands for testing network and internet latency directly at the command line.  Click on Start, select Run. Type cmd, and press OK.  This will launch the command line window where you can simply type the test commands to execute them.  You can also search for cmd.exe in the windows search The Ping loopback test will test your computer’s connection to verify that there are no local hardware problems causing the network or internet latency issue.  Type “Ping 127.0.0.1 -n 20”. This IP address is the same for nearly all built in network connections, the “-n 20” extension will send 20 packets of data before terminating the test.  If you forget to type “-n 20” you can cancel the test by entering Ctrl+C. View the statistics. The time it took for the packet of data to travel locally should be less than 5ms and there should be zero packet loss. Now that you have verified that your local port is working, you can Ping remote servers to test the latency.  Again, normal latency varies by the type of connection from 5 - 40ms for cable modem, 10 - 70ms for DSL, 100 to 220ms for dial-up and 200 - 600 for cellular. The distance to the remote server also adds to latency, you can estimate an additional 1ms in latency for every 60 miles (100km) the data travels.  Type “Ping” followed by the IP address or site URL you wish to ping and hit enter.   You may want to start with the URL of your internet service provider and proceed to other sites you commonly access. View the report.  As the test pings the remote address, it will report back the results, the final number after the “time = “ is the time it took, in milliseconds, for the packet to travel to the remote site and back to your computer.  Note: the “-n 20” extension works with this command, as does the “Ctrl+C” should you forget to enter it. The traceroute test will show the path that data travels from your computer to the remote server and any delay in that path.  This can be helpful in determining the source of network or internet delays.  Type “tracert”...

TL;DR in English: Access the Command Line Prompt. Run Ping Loopback test. Run Ping to a remote server. Run Traceroute test.

Recognizing your symptoms early can help you get early treatment and slow progression of the disease. One of the earliest behavioral signs of Alzheimer’s is the progressive loss of short-term memory. If you find yourself forgetting where you left items or someone tells you that you are repeating yourself often, see your doctor. An early sign of Alzheimer’s is finding it progressively harder to converse with people, often due to forgetting common words like “car” and “pen.” You may know what you want to say, but be unable to find the word for it. People developing Alzheimer’s often struggle to finish tasks that used to be easy, like managing a budget. They may also become unable to navigate to a familiar place – even one they have known for a long time. Alzheimer’s patients may become unable to keep track of what day, month or season it is. If you find yourself being unsure where you are in time, see your doctor. Sometimes affected people start to put items in unusual or inappropriate places, such as repeatedly putting clean dishes in the refrigerator or stove for no reason. As the disease progresses, those with Alzheimer’s often become less comprehending of their cognitive problems. If you see these signs in a loved one, take them to the doctor. People may demonstrate consistent confusion, such as saying “I want to go home!” while they’re home, or asking to speak with a loved one who has been deceased for years. There may be a genetic aspect to Alzheimer’s, meaning you may be more likely to get it if your parent or sibling has it. Know your family’s health history; if there’s a history of Alzheimer’s, note at what age it began. Tell your doctor, and you can both be on the lookout for early signs.

TL;DR in English:


Always make time for fun. Don’t take on too much. Know your vulnerabilities. If you’re worried about a relapse, don’t stop taking your medication. Seek treatment at the earliest sign of a relapse.

The “crown” of the hat is the part that start getting smaller as it reaches the end of the beanie. To make the rows shorter, you have to “decrease” how many stitches are in each row. To do this, knitters use a K2tog. This means that you knit 2 stitches together into a single stitch, decreasing the amount of stitches in that row.  Instead of slipping your needle into the first stitch, start with the second stitch. Slide your needle through both loops, treating them as a single knit stitch. Wrap the yarn around and complete the knit stitch as usual. You've now decreased the number of stitches in that row by 1. This will create a dramatic decrease in the size of your hat’s “tube,” and is better for longer, slouchier hats than fitted hats. When you reach the stitch marker, transfer it and move on to your next row's pattern. You don’t want to decrease too sharply all at once, or your hat will end too abruptly. To create a gentler slope, you want to alternate your decreasing rows with knit rows. K2tog on odd-numbered rows and knit around on even-numbered rows. When you’ve completed your fifth row, you’re almost finished with your hat! Because of your decreases, you should only have 10 stitches left on your needles when you finish the fifth row of your beanie’s crown.

TL;DR in English: Understand how to K2tog. K2tog for an entire row. Knit all the way around your crown’s second row. Repeat this pattern for 3 more rows.

It's becoming more and more of a rat race out there. Students have to study more to succeed, workers have to work harder to climb the ladder, and the stakes are higher and higher. It's easy to get wrapped up in school and work, thinking we "have to" or "should," but that is so far from the truth. We all need time for fun or life will get us down in the dumps before we realize it. Make it a point to take a night or two off for yourself. Hang out with your friends and family. This will strengthen your connections with those around you, and help you feel happy and secure. It seems like everyone these days is doing some sort of balancing act, and most of the time it’s to their detriment. Instead of spreading yourself thin and pulling out your hair, limit what you take on. Say no when need to. Investing your time in just a few things will prove much more fruitful, make you feel productive, and keep you breathing calmly. It's okay to say no sometimes, even to favors that your friends ask. You cannot be three places at once and handle three people's problems. If you feel yourself being spread thin, take a cue from yourself and relax. It's all your body needs. Everyone goes through mood swings. If you know when you’re going to experience bad moods or feel vulnerable, you can counteract it. For some, it’s hormonal. For others, it’s an old anniversary, birthdays, or death. Accept that you’ll feel vulnerable during this time and surround yourself with others, make plans, and keep your mind off of it until it passes. Being aware of your situation is the best thing you can do for yourself. Knowing how you feel when you feel it will make any emotion easier to handle and deal with as you please. It'll be easier to talk about with others, it'll be easier to make sense of, and it'll then be easier for it to go away. If you were prescribed medication for a previous depressive episode, don't stop taking it when you feel better.

Run the apple under clean water, turning it as necessary to remove any dirt and debris. Use either a knife or vegetable peeler to gently peel the skin off the apple. Try to remove only a thin layer of skin and keep most of the apple intact.  It's easier to use a vegetable peeler, as you get more control and can trim less flesh off the apple. If you use a knife, point it away from your body as you peel the apple. Get a clean cutting board and place it on a flat surface. Set the apple with the stem-side up on the board. Make a series of vertical slices along the side of the apple, cutting just against the core. This will give you four pieces that should be about the same size. Once you've cut the apple into four pieces, place each piece on the cutting board with the flat side down. Use a knife to cut across each apple, slicing the chunks into thin slices. Aim for two to three slices per chunk.

You should connect one red clip to the red post on the dead battery first.  Next you should connect the other red clip to the red post of the good battery. Connect one black clip to the black post on the good battery.  Your cables are live now, so be careful not to touch the last metal clip to yourself or any part of your car besides unpainted metal under the hood. This piece of metal is referred to as a ground and completes the circuit. When the circuit is completed it can cause an arc of electricity (sparking). This could damage your battery and is why you should ground the circuit away from your battery and NOT on the black battery terminal of the dead battery. This will start the process of charging your battery. You want to have enough power to turn the engine over when you hit the key.  One good way to see if you have battery power is to turn on an interior light.  If it burns normally then you might be able to start your car.  If the light is dim or doesn't come on you should wait a little longer. Sometimes you can start your car immediately after hooking up the jumper cables.  If it doesn't start the first time you can try two or three times, but if it still doesn't start you will need to wait and allow the battery time to charge.

Dogs can contract two forms of mange — sarcoptic mange and demodectic mange. Though both can be serious, the two forms of the disease differ somewhat in the symptoms they present (see Part 1) and have different causes. Sarcoptic mange is an infection by a specific kind of mite that is passed along from other infected animals. Demodectic mange is caused by a different kind of mite that is normally present in a dog's skin. While most dogs live in harmony with these mites, sometimes the mites can proliferate and cause hair loss and irritation.   Although both sarcoptic and generalized demodectic mange can lead to itching, it's important to distinguish the two — the mites that cause sarcoptic mange lead to immediate, severe itching, while the mites that cause demodectic mange cause patches of irritated skin to develop, which then may become itchy.  While sarcoptic mange itself can't kill a dog, the dog's health can deteriorate quickly if it gets a serious infection or stops eating or sleeping, so, in this case, immediate veterinary care may be needed. This should be obvious — a dog with a bad case of sarcoptic mange will appear profoundly unhealthy. Sarcoptic mange is sometimes referred to as scabies.  Demodectic mange may also be called Demodex. Localized demodectic mange is characterized by hair loss in one or two spots. If unresolved (possibly because of suppressed immunity, allergies, or endocrine issues), the condition may spread, resulting in a proliferation of bald patches that may become irritated and infected, which lead to itching and scabbing.  Localized demodectic mange is most common in puppies. In about 90% of cases, localized demodectic mange disappears on its own without treatment in a month or two. However, in a fraction of cases, the disease may develop into the more serious generalized demodectic mange. While dogs do not inherit demodectic mange per se, is thought that those that develop generalized demodectic mange usually inherit their weakness to the disease genetically. Pododermatitis is a...

It's completely normal and natural for kids of all ages to ask about babies. It helps to be prepared for the conversation, but even if you aren't, try to stay calm and don't jump to conclusions. Take a deep breath and talk to them like you would about any other topic. Your first reaction might be to laugh or redirect the conversation. However, if you dismiss them, they'll only become more curious about the topic. It's best to address the question when they ask. If you're a babysitter or nanny, the children who you watch might ask you about babies or sex at some point. Stay calm and use your best judgement to approach the situation. If it's a body question, answer it scientifically. If it's a question that you think you can't or shouldn't answer, let them know that they can ask their parents.  For example, you could say something like, “Let's ask your mom when she gets home, maybe she'll know!” Chances are, they'll forget about it, and you can let their parents know that the child was curious about babies or sex. If they continue to push your limits and ask more personal questions, stay calm and treat it like you would if they were misbehaving in any other way. Remind them that they shouldn't use dirty words if they're swearing, and tell them that if they continue to do so, you'll have to call their parents. While kids are naturally inquisitive, there might be a reason that they're asking this particular question. For example, their teacher at school might be pregnant, or they might have seen a baby on television or in public. If you're pregnant, an older child might become curious about their new sibling. It's very common for children to start asking about babies and pregnancy when they know there's a baby on the way. Your child might be asking you about babies to confirm what they already know. If you've never talked about it before, try saying something like “That's a good question! Where do you think babies come from?” to see what they know about the topic.  If you've discussed babies and pregnancy before,...

TL;DR in English: Stay calm and relaxed when the topic comes up. Defer to the child's parents if someone else's child asks you about babies. Consider why your child might be curious about babies. Ask them where they think babies might come from.

If you want to make gratitude a habit, then you should start keeping a gratitude journal to write down all of the things you’re thankful for each week. Just pick a day to do it each week, such as a Sunday afternoon, and make a list of at least 10-20 things that you’re thankful for that week. You may feel like you don’t have too much to be grateful for, but once you make an effort to really think about it, you’ll see that there’s plenty in your life to be happy about.  If you read through your journal just once a month, you’ll be able to see how much you really have to be grateful for. You can even keep your list taped above your computer to make yourself feel fulfilled throughout your work day. Yoga is all about the practice of gratitude, and about offering your mind and body in a gesture of gratitude and contentment. If you want to make gratitude a part of your lifestyle, then make sure you go to at least 2-3 yoga classes a week and say “Namaste” to show how grateful you are for every breath you take. You can also do yoga at home instead if you feel more comfortable making your offerings that way.  Practicing yoga means putting away your judgment and being thankful for the healthy body you have been given. It means offering it all up to the world, greeting the sun, and feeling good about everything you have been given. Yoga is about doing things at your own pace, and not coveting what skills or experience your neighbor has. This can help you develop a more grateful mindset about the rest of the world, too. Volunteering is another way that you can show how grateful you are for all of the advantages you have in this life. No matter how busy you are, you can try to carve out a few hours each month to help tutor at your local library, work at a soup kitchen, help out at your local school, or clean up a park in your community. Making the effort to build a community and to focus on someone other than yourself is one of the best ways that you can truly show gratitude. Being around people who have so much less than...

TL;DR in English: Keep a gratitude journal. Do yoga. Volunteer. Be grateful on social media. Complain as little as possible. Be more affectionate. Stop gossiping. Be present.

To be sure you aren't ingesting any dirt or pesticides, always wash produce before you prepare it. If the lettuce is marked “ready-to-eat,” the FDA has certified that it is clean and can be eaten as it is, but some experts recommend washing it again when you get home.  Remove the outer layers of leaves, until you get to a layer where you can't see any visible dirt or wilted edges. Grasp the entire head of lettuce and run it under running water. Gently scrub the exterior of the lettuce with your fingers to remove any traces of dirt or pesticides. Do not soak your lettuce in a sink filled with water – this will not remove the dirt. The stalk of the lettuce tends to be tough and can have a bitter taste. Remove the pale, hard tip of the head and discard it. Also discard any of the outer leaves that appear wilted or discolored. Put the lettuce on a clean chopping board and use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the head in half, through the root (or stalk). A classic chef's knife with an 8 to 10 inch (20 – 25 cm) blade is recommended for chopping lettuce and most other vegetables. Set each half of the lettuce, cut side down, on the cutting board. Slice each half in half, through the root (stalk). Place the lettuce quarter-section on the cutting board with the outer leaves against the board and the cut edges facing up.  Position the knife at the far, right edge of the lettuce and begin cutting with a back and forth sawing motion until you reach the cutting board. Move over approximately 1/4-inch and begin sawing again. The last piece of the head segment may be too small to slice safely. Reposition the small piece on the cutting board so that it lays flat, and finish slicing. Move onto the other half of the lettuce if a lot of shredded lettuce is desired. Slice only what you will need for your meal, and return the remaining uncut portions of lettuce to the refrigerator. Shredded lettuce will brown and wilt more quickly than lettuce that is left intact.

TL;DR in English: Wash the lettuce. Remove the tip of the lettuce head. Cut the head of lettuce in half. Cut the head into quarters. Shred the quarter head into thin slices. Shred another quarter, if needed.

You can use natural heat to dry rose petals. This method can take slightly longer than others, but may require less work on your part.  To preserve petals, you need to set them on a surface that allows air circulation. You can use a wire cookie rack or a window screen, for example.  Set the petals across the surface, making sure they're not touching each other. Then, find a warm and dark place to set the petals aside. Choose a place out of reach of children and animals. You do not want the petals to get disturbed during the drying process.  It will take 10 to 20 days for the petals to dry completely. If you're drying more petals, it will take longer. If you don't mind investing some extra time, you can press flowers between a book and set aside for a few weeks. To start, place the petals between two pieces of absorbent paper. Make sure they are not touching. Then, place the paper and petals between the pages of a heavy book. A phone book works well.  Place a brick or other heavy item on top of the book to weigh it down.  Once a week, replace the absorbent papers. It will take the petals a few weeks to completely dry. A quality dehydrator, while expensive, is one of the best means to preserve petals without harming their appearance. You can purchase a dehydrator online or at a local craft shop. Set the dehydrator to its lowest heat setting and then place the petals inside. Allow the dehydrator to dry them and then remove. Professional freeze-drying can be expensive. However, the rose's color and scent will remain preserved if you use this method. If the rose petals are particularly important to you, you may want to put your money towards professional freeze drying.

Perhaps the best way to avoid late fees is to pay your credit card bill as soon as you receive it. This way, you do not need to worry about the due date or setting any reminders. Your statement generally allows about three to four weeks before the payment is due. If you write your check and send it in as soon as you get the monthly bill, you will be certain to avoid any late fees.  Some people might choose to post-date the check if they write it immediately. Post-dating means putting the due date on the check, rather than the date that you are writing it. For example, if your bill arrives on April 2, and payment is due on April 25, you could write a payment check on April 2 but date it April 25. Your intent here is that your check will not be cashed until the written date of April 25.  However, you must be very careful if you choose to post-date a check. In addition to dating the check ahead, you must provide written notice that you intend the check to remain uncashed until the date written. Without that notice, the bank could go ahead and deposit your check when it arrives. If you do not have sufficient funds in your account at that time, you could face penalties (including criminal charges) for writing a bad check. If you are setting reminders for yourself, give yourself a few extra days before the actual due date. You must allow time for the check to travel by mail and to be received by the company. You cannot rely on the postmark date to show that you have mailed your payment on time. The applicable date is when your payment actually gets received. You can usually buy yourself some extra time in the month if you pay your bill electronically. Most credit card companies now send their bills electronically and allow you to manage your account online. With a password, you can see your bill, set the payment amount, and make the payment. Such sites generally have you link to your bank account using the bank’s routing number. Electronic payments like this occur almost right away. Find out if your credit card...

TL;DR in English: Pay right away. Plan ahead. Pay electronically. Set up automatic payments.

While you're in the store, find a tester container of makeup. Try out a spot of makeup on your jawline or hand. If you can't test the makeup on your skin, hold the jar next to your hand to see if the shades match. You can buy mineral makeup in just about any pharmacy, grocery store, or high-end department store. Enhancer is mineral concealer. While you can conceal blemishes and discolorations with foundation and a concealing brush, stubborn zits or dark circles might require a dab of enhancer. Buy green enhancer to neutralize the reddening caused by acne, eczema, or rosacea. Purchase yellow enhancer to neutralize the purple appearance of dark under-eye circles. This is also known as finishing powder. In the Bare Minerals line, it's called Mineral Veil. After you've concealed your imperfections and applied your foundation, the setting powder will give your skin an even complexion and a bit of a shimmer. Mineral makeup won't look right if you apply it with a cloth or foam puff. For a successful application, you'll need three brushes. The wide-bristle Kabuki brush gets the foundation on your face in an even layer. You'll also need a thinner concealer brush to work the makeup into acne blemishes or discolorations. Finally, you'll need the buffer brush to apply the finishing powder and blend your makeup. Starter kits contain the makeup and the brushes you'll need to apply it. Some brands might still throw in an instructional DVD to help you get started. You might be able to find these kits in your local pharmacy, but you're more likely to find them at high-end department stores.

A good way to hide condoms is to place them in uninteresting containers. This is a relatively safe way to store condoms as well, as they're less susceptible to damage.  An Altoids tin, toiletries bag, an unused jewelry box, or a coin purse are all good places to hide condoms.  One downside to this method is that if someone wants a mint or some change, they may find the condoms. It might be a good idea to keep the container in a discreet place as well. Condoms can also be hidden in clothing. Hide a condom in a sock, the sleeve or pocket of a coat you do not usually use, or a winter hat. Just make sure the item of clothing is stored in a safe place where it will not get moved around without your knowledge. Make sure clothing is not stored at extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures. You can purchase discreet cases in which to covertly store condoms. These cases are often disguised as mint tins or jewelry cases. They also may look like simple, non decorative containers. You can buy condom cases online or at sex shops. If you have an old book you do not need, consider cutting a square shaped hole in the center of the pages. You can place a condom in here or several condoms. Just be careful where you leave the book. If you leave it out on a coffee table, for example, someone may open it. It's best to choose an uninteresting looking book and tuck it away in the back of the bookshelf.

TL;DR in English: Hide condoms in containers. Store condoms in clothes. Consider investing in a condom case. Hollow out a book.

Put your phone in a drawer or keep it in your bag so you won't be tempted to use it. Additionally, stay off any other distracting electronic devices unless you need them to study. A grumbling stomach is distracting, so have yogurt, oatmeal, or fruit before you get to work. It's also a good idea to keep a granola bar, nuts, or trail mix handy in case you get hungry. Healthy snacks that are packed with protein and complex carbs give you the fuel you need to stay focused. Fruit, nuts, and whole grains are good choices. Avoid sweets and junk food, which will cause your blood sugar to spike and dip. Find a distraction-free spot, like a low-traffic part of your home or the library. Try to use that location (or a few regular locations) whenever you study. If you study in the same place over and over again, you'll unconsciously sense it's time to get to work when you arrive at that location.  Additionally, study at a desk or table with enough room to spread out your study materials. Avoid studying in bed, since getting too comfortable can distract you from your studies. Keep your area neat, clean and organized, which can help you keep a clear mind. A messy space will make your mind feel cluttered, as well. Try to study in an area that has natural light, which can help energize your mind. If you have multiple assignments or subjects to study, work on 1 for an hour, then switch gears. Even if you're studying for a test and can't switch subjects, try to focus on 1 unit or topic for about an hour at a time.  For example, if you're studying for a history test on World War II, review your notes on the events leading up to the war. Take a break to have a snack or stretch, then work on the European front. You could also review textbook chapter outlines for an hour, then switch to studying flashcards. Rather than try to force yourself to concentrate on 1 thing, you'll boost your efficiency and remember more if you mix up your tasks. If you get your toughest or most boring work out of the way, it'll be easier to study for a...

TL;DR in English: Keep your phone out of sight and out of mind. Eat a healthy snack before you study. Choose a designated spot for studying. Mix up tasks and topics to prevent boredom. Study difficult subjects first to get them out of the way. Play music while you study if it helps you concentrate.

There are two kinds of car seats available for infants: infant car seats and convertible car seats. Infant car seats only last for the infant stage, but are usually considered safer for babies, especially smaller babies. Convertible car seats will last for a few years, accommodating the child as she grows from infant to toddler to preschooler.  An infant seat is only for babies, and will always be rear-facing in the car. It usually has a base that is strapped into the back seat of a car, and a snap-in seat that can be removed and carried. These seats are recommended for weights up to 22 or 40 pounds, depending on the model. The snap-in seat can be more convenient, as it can be removed from the car without disturbing the infant. A convertible seat will be rear-facing for at least the first year of the baby’s life (most safety organizations and manufacturers now recommend two years for rear-facing seating), and then the seat will “convert” into a seat for a toddler. These seats can accommodate up to 40 or 50 pounds, depending on the model. Pay attention first and foremost to a car seat’s weight and height limits, not to the age of your child. You will need to have a car seat to transport the baby in just about any moving vehicle once it is born. If you are taking the baby home from the hospital, the nurse who discharges you will likely need to confirm that you have a properly installed car seat in your car. If you are going home in a taxi, you will still need a car seat for your baby to safely and legally ride in a car. If you are using an infant car seat that you will snap in and out of a base, think about how much you will be carrying this around. Also consider the weight of the baby; adding the car seat and the baby together may mean you’re toting around 30 pounds or more. Removable infant car seats also have handles to carry them; test out the handle to see how comfortable it is in your hand. If you are buying a car seat before the baby is born, you will not be able to complete this step. If you are buying...

Consider waiting until the kits mature. Loosely block entrances with repellent. Replace daily. Block permanently once the foxes have left.

The contribution margin is total sales less variable expenses.  Variable expenses are those costs that increase with each incremental sale.  Cost of goods sold, sales commissions and delivery expenses are examples of variable expenses.  Subtract these expenses from total sales to calculate the contribution margin.  For example, suppose Company ABC had $100,000 in total sales in December, 2015.  Variable expenses were: cost of goods sold - $30,000; sales commissions – 20,000; delivery expenses - $10,000. The contribution margin is $100,000−$30,000−$20,000−$10,000=$40,000{\displaystyle \$100,000-\$30,000-\$20,000-\$10,000=\$40,000}. Operating income is the total sales less all operating expenses except interest and taxes.  If you have already deducted your variable expenses from total sales, now subtract fixed expenses to calculate the operating income.  Fixed expenses include advertising, insurance, rent, utilities and payroll wages.  Suppose Company ABC’s fixed expenses were: advertising - $2,000; insurance - $5,000; rent - $3,000; utilities - $2,000; wages - $18,000. Total fixed expenses are $30,000. Operating income is total sales less variable and fixed expenses. For Company ABC, the total sales were $100,000.  The variable expenses are $60,000 and fixed costs are $30,000. Operating income = $100,000−$60,000−$30,000=$10,000{\displaystyle \$100,000-\$60,000-\$30,000=\$10,000}. Divide the contribution margin by the operating income.  Company ABC’s contribution margin is $40,000.  Its operating income is $10,000..  Operating leverage = contribution margin / operating income. $40,000/$10,000=4{\displaystyle \$40,000/\$10,000=4} Company ABC’s operating leverage is 4.

TL;DR in English: Calculate contribution margin. Calculate operating income. Calculate operating leverage.

In our Hello World program, we printed out a string for the user to see, but the interactive part of programs is when the user gets to enter input into the program. We will now extend our program to prompt the user for his or her name and then greet the user by his or her name. In Java, we have some built in libraries that we have access to, but we have to import them. One of these libraries is java.util, which contains the Scanner object that we need to get user input. In order to import the Scanner class, we add the following line to the beginning of our code.   import java.util.Scanner;    This tells our program that we want to use the Scanner object which exists in the package java.util. If we wanted to have access to every object in the java.util package, we simply write import java.util.*; at the beginning of our code. Java is an object-oriented programming language, so it represents concepts using objects. The Scanner object is an example of an object that has fields and methods. In order to use the Scanner class, we have to create a new Scanner object that we can populate the fields of and use the methods of. To do this, we write:   Scanner userInputScanner = new Scanner(System.in);     userInputScanner is the name of the Scanner object that we just instantiated. Note that the name is written in camel case; this is the convention for naming variables in Java. We use the new operator to create a new instance of an object. So, in this instance, we created a new instance of the Scanner object by writing new Scanner(System.in). The Scanner object takes in a parameter that tells the object what to scan. In this case, we put in System.in as a parameter. System.in tells the program to scan the input from the system, which is the input that the user will type into the program. We have to prompt the user for an input so that the user knows when to type something into the console. This can be accomplished with a System.out.print or a System.out.println.   System.out.print("What's your name? "); The Scanner will...

TL;DR in English: We will now extend our Hello World program to take input from the user. Import the Scanner class. Inside our main method, instantiate a new instance of the Scanner object. Prompt the user for an input. Ask the Scanner object to take in the next line that the user types in and store that in a variable. Print out a greeting to the user. Put it all together and save. Compile and run.

If a fox is raising a family in your yard, consider allowing it to stay until the kits are old enough to travel. They should be able to leave safely at nine weeks old, when they start hunting with their parents. This usually happens in late spring or early summer. The first time you see kits out of the den, they're probably around four or five weeks old. Give them another month before you drive them out. Most dens are in enclosed spaces, such as crawlspaces or rock shelters. Soak rags or straw in commercial fox repellent, and place them in the path of the entrance. Pile it high without blocking the fox's access. If there are foxes living in the den, they should move the repellent out of the way frequently. Check daily and replace with fresh repellent if necessary. If a batch of repellent is still blocking the entrances after two days, the foxes have probably moved on. Block the entrance with a more substantial barrier, such as bricks or cinder blocks.

You’ll want to make sure your diet contains all the vitamins and minerals your body requires. Include at least five portions of fruits and vegetables in your diet every day to keep your body, including your kidneys, healthy.  Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, fiber, and assorted vitamins and minerals, all of which are essential elements for the correct functioning of your body. Consider swapping out one of your normal snack foods (e.g., a bag of chips) for a piece of fresh fruit or cutting a banana over your cereal every morning to easily increase the amount of fruit you eat in a normal day.  Only rely on fruit and vegetable juices for 1 of your 5 daily portions. The other 4 portions need to come from solid fruits and vegetables to get the needed health benefits. Eating too much salt impedes the correct functioning of the kidneys and can cause kidney stones. Eating too much sugar or saturated fats is also bad for your overall health and can lead to unhealthy weight gain, which is bad for your kidneys.  Swap out salty or processed snacks with fruits and vegetables or other healthy alternatives like unsalted nuts. Avoid fried and processed foods wherever possible. If you opt for low-fat foods, check to make sure they don’t have a lot of added sugar. A good trick when you are preparing food is to replace half the salt that you would usually use with other spices. Healthy fats and oils, like polyunsaturated fat and fish oil, contain vital nutrients that our bodies need and can help prevent disease. Add sources of healthy fats and oils to your diet to maximize the health benefits of the foods you eat. Oily fish, olive oil, dried fruits, and avocados are excellent sources of healthy fats, which are necessary to line and protect our vital organs. Kale and spinach are both green vegetables packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with other helpful nutrients like potassium and magnesium. Eating more of these leafy greens can give you all sorts of benefits that help keep your kidneys, and your whole body,...

TL;DR in English: Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Cut back on foods high in salt, sugar, or saturated fats. Eat more healthy fats and oils as part of a balanced diet. Incorporate more kale and spinach into your diet. Limit your portion sizes to avoid overeating.

Opt for compact fluorescent (CFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. These options use an average of 75 percent less electricity (usually sourced from coal). They also last much longer (5 to 20 years), saving you lots of money in the long run. CFLs and LEDs are brighter than incandescent bulbs. If you’re sensitive to bright lights, look into fitting your lamps with darker lamp shades. For ceiling fixtures, consider installing LED-compatible dimmers. Each time you turn a light on, you use up energy. Unfortunately, many people have a habit of turning on lights they don't actually need. By reducing your use of lighting, you will not only help conserve energy, but also save on electricity bills.  Keep the lights off in rooms that you are not currently using. On sunny days, open the curtains for some free solar lighting. Consider switching to timers or motion sensors if you need lights on in unused areas for security or safety reasons. This is great for garden pathways. Use dimmers and less lighting later at night to help your body get ready for sleep. Switch to smaller, energy-efficient lights. If you’re reading or sewing, use a desk lamp rather than a ceiling lamp. Even if your coffee maker or computer is switched off, it’s still consuming energy as long as it is still plugged into the wall. Unplug these devices when not in use. If you have multiple electronics in, consider using a power strip. This way, you can simply turn the strip off to cut the power. Central air often uses coal-based electricity. Central heating often uses oil or natural gas. Adjusting the temperature just one or two degrees can help to conserve resources. To maximize your comfort, dress warmly and use thick blankets during colder weather. When it’s hot outside, close the blinds on east-facing windows in the morning and west-facing windows in the afternoon. Insulate your home with weather stripping, caulk, and eco-friendly insulation. This will prevent cold winter air and hot summer air from making your home uncomfortable. Most clothes...

TL;DR in English: Use energy-efficient light bulbs. Reduce lighting use. Unplug small appliances and electronics. Turn down the heat and air conditioner. Ditch the clothes dryer. Use cooler water. Power up with renewables.

There are many stores, local and chain, who buy products from the public at a reduced rate and then resell them in their stores. Sort through your home to find things you no longer need, want, or use and make a visit to these stores in your area.  If you consider yourself quite the avid reader with a library to match, consider sorting through your archives to find old books you no longer want. Books in good condition can be bought for several dollars apiece at used-bookstores. Clothing is something everybody has, and often something we have too much of. If your wardrobe is overflowing with clothes, take a pass through and find the things that you can’t fit or aren’t in style anymore. You will get the best price for clothing that doesn’t have holes, stains, or wear-and-tear. If your library is full of music rather than books, consider selling some of your CDs. CDs with their cases intact and without scratches or blemish can be sold for a few dollars each. Find a local music or record store in your area and see if they buy used CDs. If gaming is your thing, try sorting through all your old video games. Many video game stores will take your used games if they are brought without any scratches or blemishes in the original case. Although you may only get a fraction of the price you originally bought the games for, making a few dollars on something you no longer use is better than nothing. Try taking miscellaneous things to a local pawnshop. This allows you to resell anything from a blender you never used to your old motorcycle jacket. If you would rather be responsible for selling what you own instead of taking it to a store, consider having a garage sale or advertising your items online. Although these involve much more planning than simply making a drop-off at your favorite secondhand store, you can make much more money by doing the work yourself.  Throw your own yard or garage sale. At most, you can expect a brand-new item to sell for 50% of its original price, but you will be making money back on something...

Even if you have a filter, you need to switch out some of the water. Each week, change 20% of the water in the tank. Siphon the water from the bottom of the tank to help remove debris. Replace the same amount of water that you took out with dechlorinated water. If you don't have a filter, you need to switch the water every day or two. Newts are not pets that you take out and hold, but you may find that you need to hold it for some reason. If you use your hands, make sure to wash them well with soap first and rinse them extremely well, making sure all soap is off your hands. Wash your hands immediately with soap and warm water after handling your newt.  Never eat food from your hands or touch your face after handling any newt without washing your hands. Never grab a newt by the tail. Lift it underneath its belly with a cupped hand instead. It's not a good idea to handle your newt while standing, unless your hands are over its tank.  Sometimes newts will jump or wiggle unexpectedly and a fall to the ground can be disastrous. Newts can be fed live or frozen foods. They don't need to be fed every day, but can be fed every other day. You can feed your aquatic newt the following foods:  Frozen or fresh brine shrimp. Worms, like earthworms, white worms, black worms, bloodworms,  phoenix worms, mealworms, leaf worms, red wigglers, or nightcrawlers. Daphnias, flightless fruit flies, and crickets. If you are feeding your newt live insects, you can keep them in a container. Worms generally come in containers with dirt that they can live in for around seven to ten days. For other insects, you can keep them in a jar with small holes punched in the lid for ventilation. A clean tank helps your newt stay healthy and live longer. You should do a full tank cleaning every one to two weeks. Place your newt in a container filled with dechlorinated water while you clean the tank. Scrub with water, or if something is really dirty, soap and water. Make sure to rinse the soap away completely before placing your newt back inside. ...

TL;DR in English: Change part of the water in the aquarium each week. Handle your newt properly. Feed your newt the proper food. Clean the tank regularly.

This will be the most important (and possibly the only) tool you’ll need to cut carpet. A standard utility knife is preferable, though something like an X-Acto knife or razor can also do the trick. Whatever you use, make sure the edge is nice and sharp.  If you’re using a utility knife with a removable blade, take a minute to insert a new one before you get started. You might also use a handheld electric carpet cutting tool. These tools feature durable edges and automated cutting action, which can help you sidestep the difficulty of doing it manually. Grip the knife in your dominant hand so that the angled edge of the blade is pointing away from you. Point the blade downward and touch the tip to your starting point on the carpet. Then, press down just enough to pierce the carpet’s tough backing.  Cutting carpet is mostly a matter of getting through the backing, which is the hard, flat side that lays flush against the floor. Don’t jam the blade into the carpet too deeply. You might blunt or break your knife, or even mark up the underlying flooring. Once you’ve got the tip through the carpet, pull back on the knife using a slow, smooth motion. You should be able to feel the backing give way beneath the blade. Use a straightedge to guide your movements, and pause every two or three feet to reposition before you continue cutting.  Keep your wrist fixed to avoid making sloppy or uneven cuts. If you don’t have the benefit of a straightedge, try feeling for one of the seams in the underside of the backing. Following a seam will help you make straight, steady cuts. Your original blade will quickly lose its edge after slicing through multiple feet of tough backing material. To keep the project moving along, be sure to have a new blade on standby. Working with a dull blade will only slow you down. It may seem like a hassle to have to keep stopping to change blades, but it will save you considerable time and labor in the long run.

TL;DR in English: Start with a sharp knife. Place the tip of the knife against the carpet. Drag the blade along in a straight line. Replace your knife blade as needed.

Needle size is measured in ‘gauges’. The gauge of a needle is inversely proportional to its diameter, so the lower the gauge, the bigger the needle. For instance, a calf's skin is thinner than that of an adult cow, so a finer and higher gauge needle can be used instead. Use the finest gauge possible to make sure that the cow feels as little pain as possible, but not so fine that risk of breaking the needle is significant.  To give an injection to a calf weighing less than 500 pounds, an 18-20 gauge (g) needle with a 1 inch (2.5 cm) length is ideal. For larger animals weighing over 500 pounds, you will need a 16-18 g needle with of 1 ½ inch length. Breed can also play a part on determining needle gauge. Black Angus cattle tend to have thinner hides than Herefords, for instance, so you won't need a 16 g needle to pierce the thinner hide of an Angus cow, versus the thicker one of a Hereford. You will need a shorter needle for subcutaneous injections, and a longer needle for intramuscular and intravenous injections.  You won't need a needle longer than 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) to 1 inch (2.5 cm), for SQ injections because you only need to penetrate the skin. For IM and IV injections, needles that are around 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) or more are best. It is acceptable to use the same needle for up to 15 injections as long as it remains sharp and straight. Always change to a new needle when drawing from a different bottle of medication because using the old needle may introduce contamination. Never attempt to straighten a bent or burred needle because it is much more likely to break on you or break off in the process of injection. Burred needles are also to never be straightened, but simply tossed into a bio-hazard bin.

Make sure that you have the necessary hardware. Set up the Internet source. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the "Internet" port on the back of the modem, then connect the other end of the cable to the "Internet" port on the back of the modem, then connect the other end of the cable

Prepare your supplies. Create a calendar with eight columns. Draw a diagonal line in the upper left hand box. List responsibilities and write out the days of the week. Mark off completed chores. Offer chore incentives to make joyful workers. Use different colored markers for multiple people. Separate chore lists for picky chore doers. Make a daily and weekly chart with names in the columns.

You'll need an Internet source (e.g., a router) into which you can plug each individual computer, as well as Ethernet cables to connect the computers to the Internet source.  Most standard routers only come with a few Ethernet ports, but you can buy network hubs that support upward of 10 connections. Make sure that you know the approximate distance from each computer to the Internet source. You'll need Ethernet cables that can span this distance. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the "Internet" port on the back of the modem, then connect the other end of the cable to the "Internet" or "Ethernet" port on your Internet source. You'll also need to plug in the Internet source's power cable before proceeding. Attach one end of an Ethernet cable to the square Ethernet port on your computer, then attach the other end of the cable to the Internet source.  Typically speaking, you'll use iMac computers for a network. This means that you'll find the Ethernet port on the back of the iMac's monitor. If you're using Mac laptops for your network, you'll need to buy a USB-C network adapter for your computer and then plug it into one of the USB-C slots on the side of your Mac, since Mac laptops no longer include Ethernet ports. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. It's near the top of the drop-down menu. You'll find this blue folder-shaped icon in the middle of the System Preferences window. It's on the left side of the page. This will ensure that you can share files from your computer to other computers on the network. You can check any other file sharing options that you want to use for your network here as well. Your changes will be saved; the current computer is now set up for network sharing. Each computer that's connected to your Internet source will need file sharing to be enabled. Once you've completed this process, your wired network will be ready to use.

TL;DR in English: Make sure that you have the necessary hardware. Set up the Internet source. Plug each computer into the Internet source. Open the Apple menu . Click System Preferences…. Click Sharing. Check the "File Sharing" box. Close the System Preferences window. Enable file sharing on the other network computers.

To turn off the electricity, go to the fuse box in your home. It is usually on the bottom floor or in the basement. Find the switch that corresponds to the room with the disposal unit and flip the switch to off.  The switches should be labeled, but you can test the room for an electrical current by plugging something into a wall outlet and attempting to turn it on. Another way to do this is to flip the light switch near the disposal unit. This only works if the switch controls the electrical outlet the unit is plugged into. Check by listening to the unit for humming. Get a flashlight and shine it into the sink drain and garbage disposal. Shine the light over the unit’s outer edge, since this is where blockages typically happen. Find the small teeth of the disposal’s blades on the outer edge and look for anything obstructing them. For safety, avoid sticking your hand into the disposal unit. Instead, get a pair of kitchen tongs or pliers from your toolbox. Stick them down through the sink and into the disposal unit. Use them to break away any blockages you notice. Instead of using the Allen wrench, get a garbage disposal wrench. It looks like a claw with 2 prongs on 1 end. Stick the prongs down the drain until they’re around the unit’s blades. Spin the blades counterclockwise, then clockwise, until they rotate freely. Spinning the blades this way requires a lot of force. Keep turning the wrench back and forth until the blades loosen. Pull the wrench out of the drain. Plug the unit into the outlet, then restore the electrical current to the room. Turn on the disposal to give it a test run. If the garbage disposal still doesn’t work after all these treatments, it most likely needs to be replaced.

TL;DR in English: Turn off the room’s electrical supply. Look down through the sink drain for any blockages. Remove blockages with tongs or pliers. Spin the blades with a special garbage disposal wrench if they are still stuck. Remove the wrench and turn on the disposal.

Depending on the style of chore chart you're making, these may vary, but having all your supplies on hand will help speed you through your chore chart creation. For the purposes of offering a guided example, the following chore chart uses a dry erase board and markers. The first column will be where you write down chore names, so you'll need it to be wider than the rest. The seven columns to the right will be where the chore-doer marks whether the chore has been finished or not. These seven columns can be much smaller than your first. If you have five chores, you should have at least six rows. The topmost row will be for days of the week, so you'll need one more row than your number of chores. Do so from the upper left of the box to its lower right corner. In the bottom left triangle, write "Chores" to indicate the left column is for chores. In the upper right triangle, write "Days" to indicate the top row is for days. This way there won't be any confusion, and your chart will look tidy and complete. Skipping the upper left hand box, write out the chores in the leftmost column of your chart. You might also want to include special information here. For example, for bi-weekly chores you might put "Bi-weekly" in parentheses below the listed chore. In the topmost row, skipping again the upper leftmost box, write the days of the week. If you don't have enough room in your top row to write out the entire name of each day of the week, use simple abbreviations, like: M, T, W, TH, F, S, SU This can be as simple as marking a chore complete with a check mark in the appropriate column when it's done. However, if you want to do the marking yourself to keep the chore doer honest, you can use the same procedure when you are informed the chore is complete.  For example, when the chore doer's bed is made, you'll put a check mark in the box to the right of "Make Bed" in the corresponding column for the day of the week. For children especially resistant to chores, you may want to do a brief inspecting of the work before you...

Ultimately, a majority of your co-workers will need to vote to establish a union. By talking to your co-workers, you can gauge whether your fellow employees are likely to support a union election. Talking is also the best way to find out what changes your co-workers would like to see, and for you to share your ideas about how unionization can effectuate those changes.  Keep your discussions quiet and private. Although the National Labor Relations Act guarantees the right to discuss union membership during non- work time in non work areas (like an employee lounge), keeping these discussions discreet helps avoid conflict between the management and pro-union employees. Your co-workers must find you to be trustworthy and competent, so study up on union issues, like federal and state labor law, the benefits of unions, and common employer tactics used to discourage organization. When a co-worker has a question or challenges your position, you should ready to answer quickly and confidently. To successfully organize, you must inspire and persuade you peers to follow your leadership. There may already be a union you can join that represents your industry. These organizations can guide you through the process of organizing a union at your workplace. Most U.S. labor organizations are organized under the American Federation of Labor - Congress of Industrial Organizations or the Change to Win Federation. There are also independent unions that are not affiliated with either umbrella organization, such as the International Longshore & Warehouse Union, United Electrical Workers, and Industrial Workers of the World. You can also locate local unions by searching online or in the phone book under "Labor Organizations." Keep in mind that the name of the union doesn't matter; meat packers commonly belong to the United Steel Workers. Contact your local unions to find out what industries they represent. If you and your co-workers decide that you would like to organize under an existing union, contact a union organizer at a...

Find a photograph of a natural scene that you like, or look out the window and draw what you see. When you're drawing a landscape, it's often helpful to have some sort of reference to help you get your proportions right, especially when you're first starting out. The line that divides the ground and sky in a landscape picture is called the horizon line. Lightly sketch this line wherever you want your horizon to fall. Keep in mind that if your horizon features mountains, treetops, buildings, or other raised elements, it may not be a perfectly straight line.  According to the Rule of Thirds, your picture will be more visually interesting if you place the horizon line a third of the way up from the bottom or a third of the way down from the top of the page.  If you draw your horizon further up the page, the viewer will see more of the ground, and if you draw it further down, they'll see more of the sky. In a typical landscape picture, the paper is turned so it is wide, rather than tall. To make your landscape drawing seem interesting, add some eye-catching object for the viewer to look at. This might be a tree, a building, some interesting rocks alongside a stream, a barn, a waterfall, a bench, a person, or anything else you can think of. Typically, the focal point is the largest element in a painting, although it may also be an object that stands out because of its color or contrast.  For instance, a small patch of bright yellow flowers at the base of a stream would likely catch the viewers' eye if the rest of the colors in the painting are more sedate. A large shrub in the foreground of a painting could act as a focal point, as could a towering mountain in the background. It's helpful to try to find a reference photo or a natural angle with a focal point already included. However, you may need to select just a portion of a larger picture to make it interesting. For instance, you might focus your drawing on an area with an old tree, rather than trying to capture a whole park. When you're creating your drawing,...

TL;DR in English: Use a reference photo or your own personal view. Draw a horizontal line across your page for the horizon. Add a focal point in your picture. Use perspective to maintain your proportions. Simplify the details in your drawing.

By now, you’ve probably heard the advice that you should roll your clothes when you pack a suitcase. Your drawers at home aren’t any different. Rolling takes up less space and it also prevents wrinkles and creases when done correctly. Make your rolls slowly and get them nice and tight in order to prevent wrinkles. The exception here is if you have clothes with natural creases in them. Creased pants, for example, should probably be folded in the traditional way, although they are really best kept in a closet. If you do fold your clothes, use a shirt board when you fold them. This is a board like a clipboard or even a piece of cardboard which you fold your shirt or pants around. Place the board at the top center of a shirt, just at the collar. Pull the left sleeve over toward the right, until it creases at the side of the board, and then repeat for the right. Tuck the sleeves as needed and then fold up the bottom hem. Pants are simply folded in half and then wrapped around the board.  You can remove the board (as is more traditional), but if you used cheap cardboard, you can leave the board in the shirt or pants. This makes it faster to sort through the items or even store them vertically, like the bagged dress shirts at a department store. To make your own shirt board, cut a piece of thick cardboard to about 15” by 18”. It should be just about the same size that a shirt is once folded into a “store style” rectangle. When you put items into your drawers, don’t stack them. This is the traditional way to place items in a drawer, but it makes it very easy to wrinkle them and makes it hard to find the item that you want. Instead of stacking, “file” your items. Place clothes in upright rolls, side rolls, or folded with a shirt board and kept like actual files. You can even use a file organizer in your drawers to help keep items upright. If you have bras to store in your dresser, be sure to nest them. This means placing the curve of the cup into the curve of the cup of the next bra. This will not only save space and...

How you pack the food is an important part of preventing the spread of contaminants from one food to another.  Pack all meats separately from ready-to-eat foods. Juices from the meat could spoil food like cheese and vegetables, so be sure to wrap securely. Pack dairy produce on its own, inside a cooler. When you bring food back home, discard any food that has come into contact with other food; this includes shared dishes that have had forks and the like stuck into them, as you have no idea what guests had on their utensils. Anytime you touch raw meat clean your hands before touching food, both for preparation and for serving. Clean them again after touching the food.  Use moist towelettes thoroughly to make sure that you don't transmit germs or bacteria onto other foods or utensils. Provide plenty of spare towelettes and antibacterial cleanser for guests to use too––place in an obvious spot. Wipe down everything before you serve. Use only clean utensils for serving and eating with. This doesn't mean buying it from the pricey vendors; it means stopping at the nearest supermarket before you enter the tailgate party, stocking up and placing the foods into the appropriate containers at the supermarket carpark. If you can reduce the travel time for the food, so much the better.  Avoid purchasing more than what will be eaten––that way, there will be no temptation to hoard leftovers and eat them later, when they have turned bad. Take your cooler bag into the supermarket. Place food items straight into it from the refrigerator shelf, then open it at the cashier for purchase and ask that it be repacked straight back into the cooler. When grilling, only remove the amount of meat that can fit on the grill. Leave the rest in the cooler until it's time to cook the next round. After grilling food, serve immediately. Anything that is not eaten straight away should be kept hot or placed into a cooler.  Grilled food left outside for more than hour should be discarded. Refer back to the section above for the heating...

Are you even aware of your innate need to fix or control others? Some people reading this may be in denial of a savior complex. By taking a closer look into your relationships with others, you can see a pattern of compulsive helping.  Have you stayed in a relationship in which you were unhappy because you thought the other person needed you? Do you find yourself frequently worrying about others and their problems? Do you feel guilty when others help or give to you? Are you uncomfortable letting others experience negative emotions, so you quickly try to resolve the problem? Do you exit unhealthy relationships only to find yourself connecting with similar people as your past partners?  If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may want to visit a therapist. A therapist can help you determine if these are unhealthy behaviors for you. You may not realize that in your attempt to fix everyone around you, you have left yourself starving emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. Perform a self-assessment to look closer at areas of personal need. You may find that you have been projecting your own shortcomings onto those around you.    Identify your personal values. What beliefs, ideas, and principles drive your decisions and goals? Have you been living according to your values? Examine your  emotional intelligence. Are you able to recognize your emotions and effectively express them? Take a look at your  self-worth. Is your self-esteem connected to how much others value or need you? The compulsive need to rescue or help others is often rooted in your childhood. Researchers believe those who suffer from a savior complex or white knight syndrome are trying to fix some negative sense of themselves that arose in early life. Low self-esteem, abuse, or neglect may have contributed to this complex. You may choose friends or partners who are going through distress similar to that which you experienced in childhood.  Awareness is the first step in being able to repair a damaged sense of self. Take notice of the...

If your itching doesn’t subside after a week or you become very uncomfortable, see your doctor. The doctor may prescribe oral medications, steroid creams, or light therapy for your itching. See your doctor if: you're so uncomfortable that it disrupts your sleep or ability to function daily, your skin is painful, self-care and home remedies haven’t worked, or you suspect your skin is infected. Applying a calamine lotion or non-prescription anti-itch cream can relieve the symptoms of itching. You can purchase these creams at grocery and drug stores both in-store and online.  A nonprescription anti-itch, or hydrocortisone, cream, can help relieve itching. Make sure to purchase a cream with at least 1% hydrocortisone.  Look for anti-itch creams that contain camphor, menthol, phenol, pramoxine and benzocaine Apply these creams to your hands and feet before you moisturize your skin. Your doctor may also suggest applying the cream to the affected area and then covering it with a moist bandage to help your skin absorb the cream more effectively.  Follow the specific product instructions for how often you can use the cream on your skin. These drugs can neutralize allergens and help relieve itching and skin inflammation. There are many different over the counter antihistamines that are available at drug and grocery stores both in store and online.  Chlorpheniramine is available in 2mg and 4mg. You can take 4mg every 4 to 6 hours. Don’t exceed 24mg per day. Diphenhydramine is Available in 25mg and 50mg. You can take 25mg every 4 to 6 hours. Don’t exceed 300mg per day. These drugs often have the added benefit of sedative effects, which can help if you are having trouble sleeping. There is evidence that selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, may help relieve pruritis. Talk to your doctor about this option if other treatments aren’t working. Common SSRIs used to treat skin itching are fluoxetine and sertraline. When the itching is not relieved by applying an over the counter topical corticosteroid, your doctor...

For your safety, put on nitrile gloves and place the empty gasoline container on the ground in a ventilated area -- outdoors is best. Pour the gas into the container first, followed by the water. Pour slowly to avoid splashing.  While working to separate the gasoline, make sure to use a container designed for storing gasoline, which should create a tight seal when closed. Also, don't fill the container more than 95% full, as the gasoline needs room to expand. If you try to hold the container while pouring, you can cause the vapors to ignite from static electricity.  If you want, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the water first to make it easier to see the layers of water/ethanol and gasoline when you're done. Place the cap on the container, ensuring it's tightly sealed. Shake the mixture together thoroughly. You want to shake it for a good 15 to 30 seconds to make sure the water and gasoline are thoroughly incorporated. Do not be anywhere near an open flame when performing this maneuver. Vapors can ignite. Once you shake the mixture, pour it into the Ethanator to sit. When the water has settled out, use the valve at the bottom of the bottle to drain off the water and the ethanol into a container.  When you're done, remove your gloves, and wash your hands thoroughly.  You'll need to leave the mixture to settle for at least 3 to 4 hours, but you may want to leave it overnight or as long as 12 hours. Once the mixture is ready, it will be perfectly clear without cloudiness, and you'll see 2 distinct layers. The gasoline will settle on top and the water and ethanol mixture will settle on the bottom. If you don't have an Ethanator, you can carefully pour the ethanol-free gasoline layer into another fuel-safe container, after it's been left to separate for several hours. Tip the container over another one to pour off the gasoline. This will be easier to do if you added the food coloring to the water, as you'll be able to see the layers better. This method probably won't be quite as easy or as safe as the...
